Information
These elves are related to the Mythaen but evolved into a separate race when the continents split and they were stranded in Mephais, a land where gate power and planes or shadow walking is impossible without fixed gates. A magnetic field which formed around Mephais isolated the Quantum weave of arcane and elemental powers to the continent of Mephais. It was not until the 6th age of the Dragon that the Wizard Race of Mephais figured out how to bypass the magnetic field with fixed gates in specific prime locations in Mephais. The stone Gate Markers were created in the age of the dragon, and stand in the locations they were raised to this day (see Mephais Page for Location of gates).
